It has gained high recognition from customers in demanding markets such as the United States, Germany and Japan. In this article, we will elaborate on the core specifications that must be checked when selecting and purchasing eye bolts, to help industry practitioners make reasonable choices and ensure the reliable application of eye bolts in various working conditions.

The material of eye bolts determines the basic mechanical properties and environmental adaptability of the products, which is one of the first specifications to be checked. Different application scenarios have clear requirements for the material of eye bolts, and only by selecting the appropriate material can the performance of eye bolts be fully exerted.

When checking the material specifications of eye bolts, the material grade and corresponding mechanical properties are the key contents. Common materials for manufacturing eye bolts include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and other types. Carbon steel eye bolts have high strength and cost performance, suitable for general indoor and non corrosive environments; stainless steel eye bolts have excellent corrosion resistance, especially suitable for humid, marine and chemical corrosive environments; alloy steel eye bolts have higher tensile strength and fatigue resistance, meeting the needs of heavy duty and high load applications. Buyers should check the material certificate provided by the manufacturer to confirm that the material grade of eye bolts meets the design requirements, and verify that indicators such as tensile strength, yield strength and hardness are in line with relevant international and industrial standards. Gonuo Hardware strictly controls the selection of raw materials for eye bolts, and conducts professional testing on each batch of raw materials to ensure that the material properties of eye bolts fully meet the specified standards.

In addition to material performance, the compliance of eye bolts materials with international standards is also an indispensable inspection item. For eye bolts exported to markets such as the United States, Germany and Japan, their materials must meet the standard requirements of the target market, such as ASTM standards, DIN standards and JIS standards. Checking whether the material of eye bolts has corresponding standard certification can avoid quality disputes and application risks in international trade. The professional team of Gonuo Hardware has an in-depth understanding of the fastener standards of various countries, and can produce eye bolts that fully comply with the standard specifications of different markets, ensuring that products can smoothly enter the global market.

Load capacity is the core functional specification of eye bolts, which directly affects the safety of lifting and fixing operations. Incorrect selection of load capacity will lead to potential safety hazards such as deformation and fracture of eye bolts, so this specification must be carefully checked.

The working load limit is the most important load index of eye bolts, which refers to the maximum safe load that eye bolts can bear under normal working conditions. When checking this specification, it is necessary to confirm that the marked working load limit of eye bolts matches the actual application load, and leave a sufficient safety margin according to the operating environment. It is strictly prohibited to use eye bolts beyond the working load limit, otherwise it will cause serious safety accidents. Gonuo Hardware carries out strict load testing on each batch of eye bolts, and clearly marks the accurate working load limit on the product, ensuring that users can grasp the load bearing capacity of eye bolts correctly.

In addition to the working load limit, the proof load and breaking load of eye bolts are also important load specifications to be checked. The proof load is the test load applied to verify the structural integrity of eye bolts, and the breaking load is the maximum load that causes eye bolts to break. These two indicators reflect the ultimate bearing capacity of eye bolts, and are important basis for evaluating the safety and reliability of products. Professional manufacturers will provide test reports of proof load and breaking load for eye bolts, and buyers should check whether these data meet the standard requirements to ensure the safety performance of eye bolts.

The dimensional accuracy of eye bolts affects the installation fit and connection effect, and unqualified dimensions will lead to difficulties in installation or loose connection. Therefore, the dimensional specifications of eye bolts need to be comprehensively checked.

The shank diameter and length of eye bolts are basic dimensional parameters, which need to be checked according to the design drawings and installation requirements. The shank diameter must match the pre drilled holes or matching nuts to ensure a tight fit; the shank length needs to meet the installation depth and fixing requirements, avoiding problems such as insufficient thread engagement or excessive exposure. Gonuo Hardware adopts advanced production equipment to process eye bolts with high dimensional accuracy, and conducts full inspection on the shank diameter and length of each product to ensure that the dimensional deviation of eye bolts is controlled within the allowable range.

The inner diameter of the eye part of eye bolts determines the size of the matching lifting rings, ropes and other connectors, and the thickness of the eye part affects the load bearing strength of this part. When checking, it is necessary to measure whether the inner diameter of the eye is consistent with the specified value, and check whether the thickness of the eye part meets the design requirements to ensure that the connection accessories can be smoothly installed and that the eye part has sufficient strength to bear the load. The customized production team of Gonuo Hardware can adjust the dimensional parameters of eye bolts according to customer needs, and produce customized eye bolts with specific dimensions to meet the special installation requirements of different customers.

Surface treatment is an important specification to improve the corrosion resistance and service life of eye bolts, and different surface treatment processes are suitable for different environmental conditions. Checking the surface treatment specifications of eye bolts can effectively extend the service life of products.

Common surface treatment processes for eye bolts include galvanizing, hot dip galvanizing, powder coating and passivation. Galvanized eye bolts have basic anti-corrosion performance, suitable for general environments; hot dip galvanized eye bolts have thicker coating and stronger corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor and harsh environments; passivation treatment can enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel eye bolts. Buyers should check whether the surface treatment type of eye bolts is suitable for the application environment, and confirm that the surface coating is uniform, without missing coating, bubbling and other defects.

For eye bolts with surface coating, the coating thickness and adhesion are key inspection points. The coating thickness must meet the standard requirements to ensure the anti-corrosion effect, and the coating adhesion should be good to avoid peeling off during use. Gonuo Hardware has a complete surface treatment production line, and strictly controls the coating thickness and adhesion of eye bolts, so that the products have excellent anti-corrosion performance and can adapt to long-term use in various complex environments.

In the international fastener market, quality certification and compliance specifications are important guarantees for the market access of eye bolts. Checking these specifications can ensure that eye bolts meet the regulatory requirements of various countries and regions.

Eye bolts used in the international market need to obtain corresponding quality certifications, such as ISO certification, CE certification and other authoritative certifications. These certifications represent that the production and quality management of eye bolts meet international standards, and are important credentials for products to enter the European and American markets. Gonuo Hardware has complete international quality certifications for fasteners, and all eye bolts produced have passed strict certification tests, meeting the access requirements of more than 50 countries around the world.

In addition to standard certifications, many customers have specific quality and performance requirements for eye bolts according to their own application scenarios.
